Psalms 62:3-4
How long will ye set upon a man, That ye may slay him, all of you, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?They only consult to thrust him down from his dignity; They delight in lies; They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly.[ Selah

Jeremiah 9:3-6
And they bend their tongue, as it were their bow, for falsehood; and they are grown strong in the land, but not for truth: for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith Jehovah.Take ye heed every one of his neighbor, and trust ye not in any brother; for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbor will go about with slanders.And they will deceive every one his neighbor, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies; they weary themselves to commit iniquity.Thy habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith Jehovah.

Acts 6:11-13
Then they suborned men, who said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and against God.And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and seized him, and brought him into the council,and set up false witnesses, who said, This man ceaseth not to speak words against this holy place, and the law:

Micah 6:12-13
For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.Therefore I also have smitten thee with a grievous wound; I have made thee desolate because of thy sins.

Psalms 64:2-8
Hide me from the secret counsel of evil- doers, From the tumult of the workers of iniquity;Who have whet their tongue like a sword, And have aimed their arrows, even bitter words,That they may shoot in secret places at the perfect: Suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.They encourage themselves in an evil purpose; They commune of laying snares privily; They say, Who will see them?They search out iniquities; We have accomplished, say they, a diligent search: And the inward thought and the heart of every one is deep.But God will shoot at them; With an arrow suddenly shall they be wounded.So they shall be made to stumble, their own tongue being against them: All that see them shall wag the head.

Micah 7:2-3
The godly man is perished out of the earth, and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net.Their hands are upon that which is evil to do it diligently; the prince asketh, and the judge is ready for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth the evil desire of his soul: thus they weave it together.
-
Isaiah 59:4-7
None sueth in righteousness, and none pleadeth in truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.They hatch adders’ eggs, and weave the spider’s web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth; and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper.Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands.Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; desolation and destruction are in their paths.

John 8:44
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and standeth not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.

Matthew 26:59-60
Now the chief priests and the whole council sought false witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death;and they found it not, though many false witnesses came. But afterward came two,

Ezekiel 22:27-29
Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, that they may get dishonest gain.And her prophets have daubed for them with untempered mortar, seeing false visions, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, when Jehovah hath not spoken.The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery; yea, they have vexed the poor and needy, and have oppressed the sojourner wrongfully.

Psalms 4:2
O ye sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor? How long will ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood?[ Selah
